Swiss politicians call for UEFA’s tax-exempt status to be revoked over stance on Israel

GENEVA: Swiss politicians on Wednesday argued that UEFA’s privileged tax status should be revoked until European football’s governing body ends what critics described as its complicity in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. Local and national parliamentarians issued a statement calling for a vote on the issue, citing a Jul. 19, 2024, ruling by the International Court of Justice that found Israel was illegally occupying Palestinian land, including in the West Bank.
